For the four million people in Florida who can't see a doctor when they are sick, and the fifty million nationwide, I'm in.
For the 70% of all homeowners in Orlando who owe more than they own on their home, and the 25% nationwide who are "underwater," and feel like they are drowning, I'm in.
For the six million Americans who haven't worked in six months and are seeing their benefits running out, for the eight million more who are unemployed, and for the eight million on top of that who can find only part-time work, I'm in.
For the millions of parents who have absolutely no idea how to pay for a college education for their children, I'm in.
And for everyone who is appalled by the prospect that we may cut Social Security and Medicare benefits as we spend more than $150 billion a year on three unnecessary wars and almost $100 billion a year on the Bush tax cuts for the rich, I'm in.
I'm in. And I'm going to need your help. Are you in?
Courage,
Alan Grayson

The reason I think Grayson will kick ass is because he told me in an interview on June 29th, Alan Grayson, Progressive Hell-Raiser, that he will not run in the same district map as his 2010 campaign in which he was defeated. Florida's Republican congress and governor are gerrymandering the old district to make it safer as a Republican seat, adding more farming area, and creating another district for the urban part of Orlando that voted him in. That's great news for Grayson and progressives.
One more thing. Just because he'll be in a better position that last time does not mean that he will not be attacked HARD by right wing third party attack organizations. He was targeted with buck money spent to hurt him in the last election and it will surely happen again.
